Where is your sense of humor?

For the record, my husband says I don’t have one – I think I do, it’s just hiding sometimes. I tend to be a very serious, focused person and levity does not come easily to me. My trigger is when I hear myself say, “You’ve got to be kidding me!” I know this means that I am annoyed, frustrated and most likely ruminating that I didn’t get my way. It also means that whatever the cause is; it’s most likely not a big deal or my reaction would have been different – true anger or hurt feelings.

Every day so many things don’t go the way we’d like them to. We can’t control it, we can’t change it; sometimes all we can do is laugh at it. You have to have a sense of humor if you don’t want to be frustrated and angry all of the time. Very few things or situations are worth the aggravation we allow them to cause. Ask yourself, “Is this really important?” and if it’s not try to find the humor in it.

Don’t take life so seriously!
